"Everything you want is on the other side of fear." - Jack Canfield
Once
This River
once this river was a spring
a mere burble gushing from womb of earth
drawing new maps for new ways
to be
something takes over her
she is driven
to great rush of gather for falls
careening over rough rocks
dragging bits and pieces of float some
dear as ground down diamonds
reflecting trickle and dance
of cresting fingerling waves
in places she gathers strength
her estuaries swirl deeply
roiling and boiling just below surface
then revived plunges her bidden way
reaching a somber stretch
between pastoral plains
slick- dry desert mouths
die for her rain
yes, once she learned to roar
she does
What does fear feel like to you? Can you find a metaphor, something that symbolizes what fear feels like to you? Can you journal what it feels like?
